for my friend Johnny Dovercourt, who wrote the book this song is named after. Keep sowing those flowerseeds, Johnny!
ANY NIGHT OF THE WEEK
Any night of the week it’s time for a show,
any night of the week it’s time for the flowers to grow in Toronto,
I got stuck with opposable thumbs, I got dreams like bubblegum,
one plan off it all gets stuck that must explain my income!
My best days in a dream, my best God lets me blaspheme the scene,
my plans all spilling weed, clouds of giant hogweed flowers shall overtake me,
it’s time for the flowers to grow.
Any night of the week it’s time for a show,
any night of the week it’s time for the flowers to grow in Toronto.
It’s time for the flowers to grow,
Got mirrors up on stilts to funnel sunshine when it’s spilt where only shadows chill
My flowers shoot to still!
It’s time for the flowers to grow, it’s time for the flowers to grow
Any night of the week it’s time for a show.
It’s time for the flowers to grow,
Best laid plans counterflow, I’ll see you at the colours’ show,
it’s time for the flowers to grow
In Toronto.
Any night of the week it’s time for a show,
any night of the week it’s time for the flowers to grow in Toronto.
It’s time for the flowers to grow,
It’s time for the poppies to pop, it’s time for the boppers to bop,
It’s time for the hecklers to backdrop, it’s time for the flowers to drop
any night of the week it’s time for the flowers to grow.
(Fuchsia, byoosha, houndstooth-ah, not yet time to pull up the roots-ah
at the moment of the truth-ah it’s time for the flowers to grow)
I got stuck with opposable thumbs, got dreams like bubblegum,
one plan off it all gets stuck, that must explain where I come from!
It’s time, it’s time, it’s time for a show,
any night of the week it’s time for the flowers to grow, it’s time,
it’s time for the flowers to grow, it’s your time.
